Taste of Sydney 2011 is the perfect time to get a taste of everything! All the dishes on the menu are so interesting and I want to try them all! Dark chocolate snickers? Seared scallops? The very first restaurant that attracts me is Balzac! The crisp wagyu beef and suckling pig sounds all so delicious.....

My plan (if I&#39;m lucky to go) is to keep an open mind and to walk around all of them and scout which dishes look the best. See if the lamb is juicy and tender, if the fish is fresh and succulent, observe if the service is friendly and hygienic, who has the yummiest dessert. Then I will decide who to go to first and perhaps discover a new favorite restaurant which the Taste of Sydney festival is all about.<br /><br />AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809230.post-47063417372909026272011-03-01T12:32:00.804+11:002011-03-01T12:32:00.804+11:00So hard to pick now!

With crispy beef buttata and irrisitable Barbajada. From the northern beaches to Italy, my trip was beyond devine, but now I face the dilemma that no risotto in Australia tastes as fine.
